MORE INFORMATION

Each of the font-mapping files is actually a self-documenting text file located in the MSAPPS\TEXTCONV subdirectory of the Windows program directory (for example, C:\WINDOWS\MSAPPS\TEXTCONV).

To use any of the files, open the file in an ASCII text editor such as Notepad, edit the file according to the instructions it contains, rename the file with a .DAT extension, and place the file in the same directory as the converter (usually C:\WINDOWS\MSAPPS\TEXTCONV).

For a complete description of the mapping syntax, refer to the text files listed above.
